Morehead Associates, Inc. will host a free, hour-long webcast January 24, 2012, to report the healthcare industry’s state of employee engagement.

“Research shows that an engaged healthcare workforce is closely linked to positive business outcomes such as patient satisfaction, safety, quality healthcare, and financial growth,” says Morehead’s SVP of Product Management, Brad Morton. “Top healthcare organizationsrecognize the power of benchmarking their employee engagement levels with high-performing, national peer groups.”

Morehead’s national healthcare database includes employee engagement data from hundreds of thousands of U.S. healthcare workers, including 45% of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals, and four Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award recipients.

The live webcast will explore key drivers of employee engagement during 2011, historical trends in engagement, and will include a live question and answer period. Members of the public, healthcare professionals, and human resources leaders are invited to attend this free webcast on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 1:00 pm EST. Registration information can be found at http://www.moreheadassociates.com/events/8.
